EUR/USD weekly chart

 
The euro is starting 2020 by trading near five-month highs and the 50-period weekly simple moving average. The market might be attempting to base above the 1.1000 handle. However, since the range has been so small in the last quarter, the spot remains essentially two-sided, with buyers and sellers taking the lead alternatively.

The market is pulling back down slightly while trading above the main SMAs. The spot is also rejecting a trendline. 
 

EUR/USD four-hour chart

Resistances are seen at the 1.1224, 1.1248, 1.1271, 1.1306 and 1.1341 levels, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.
